• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)
• Ability to analyze manual testing processes and translate them into automation solutions
• Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, embedded systems, or microcontroller-based test setups

Nice to Have

• Experience with AUTOSAR or automotive software testing
• Experience with test automation for embedded/automotive systems
• Hands-on experience developing or deploying AI agents / agentic test automation workflows
• Experience with LLM APIs, RAG, tool calling, MCP, or similar AI technologies
